Usually it's one of the following: 1. subtle signals of being intimidated by me 2. red flags re: emotional stability 3. they have difficulty understanding concepts I like to talk about 4. they demonstrate inflexibility of frames/attachment to a certain 'truth' idea

Intimidating? How are you intimidating? You're a goofball. Can't argue with 2 & 3. As for 4, do you have an example of a truth idea?
